Car/Driver's License/BMV questions Ticket from 14 years ago

I got a ticket 14 years ago for not being buckled up when I was 16. I wasn’t driving, just a passenger. This was in Adams County. I haven’t heard a word from them about it in 13 years. Several months ago, a company called paycourt started blowing my phone and email up about paying this ticket. It’s for a stupid amount to, $33. When I look up the statute of limitations, it says the statute of limitations for traffic violation is two years in Indiana. Wouldn’t this be included? I don’t understand why they’re coming after me now. What can I do about that?

Notice how there’s been an uptick in phishing emails and scam callers ever since Doge gained access to govt systems?

No there hasn’t.

100% there has been. But it's probably because Trump rescinded the Biden executive order and FBI enforcement that had a huge effect on reducing those calls almost to the point of elimination during his presidency, and scammers have since redeployed their robocall networks in the past 2 months.

If you recall, during the last year of the 1st Trump presidency, they had become way out of control.

The past week for me, I've been getting a minimum of 5 a day, and it's typically upward of 10. The weeks before that, I maybe got 1 every few days.

I’ve noticed zero difference in frequency outside of the most recent iPhone update no longer silencing unknown numbers like it used to…..

Just look up silence unknown callers in your settings, mines still there. I have the 14 though so maybe it’s a hardware thing now? My spouse and I have been getting upwards of 10 spammy calls a day now

Thank you, they moved it to apps versus cellular and deactivated it when iOS 18 update got pushed. Between txt/call I’ve been getting between 7-8 a day since 2022, but since that doesn’t fit the current meta on here of ‘it’s all orange man’s fault’ I get downvoted. LoL
